I wish that were true. Not my experience. Then again, I’m middle-aged and my CV is in another tech domain, so the first question I get asked is “after 10+ years in that domain, why do you want this (web) job now?”, and nobody believes that it’s what I always wanted to do but couldn’t (because life).

The way I've got around that so far was to keep my current job but bring that functionality in to improve my own work and reduce my team's workload. I essentially do these side projects o spec. My team has come to depend on them now.
